Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.
The pics above show the before and after of my Beaver Brand OR-style hat that Mike had renovated. I asked him to give me a couple of options for the edge binding. He sent me pics of a light, almost silver, ribbon and a beige, almost gold color. It was his suggestion to go with the lighter...- Alive'n'Amplified

Beaver Brand / NW Hats conversion. I took the edge binding off and steamed the stitch holes out. You can still see a slight line where Mike Miller had stitched it on. It's so subtle, I like it...- Alive'n'Amplified

My niece looked beautiful; the wedding was really nice. Got to see some extended family, nieces, nephews, and family friends. Thanks, Scott! It was a very special occasion, so this was a fitting hat. :) The label says, "Lt. Sky". I think that's a great name for the color! It's a very...- Alive'n'Amplified

The Conversion Corral
Thank you so much for all of the wonderful feedback, everyone! :thumb: All of your kind words are very encouraging! I have the confidence to do another hat very soon. Though, it will probably just be a new ribbon. Then maybe a raw hat body. My nephew-in-law(?) came over yesterday, and I...- Alive'n'Amplified

The Conversion Corral
Thanks, Jeff! I didn't want to go with another black ribbon. I have several grey hats with black ribbons. It took me a while to decide on navy. Not because I didn't like it, but because I was almost set on a rust color. I bought some vintage ribbons and bows from Scott (bond), but none of...- Alive'n'Amplified

The Conversion Corral
Emerson Star Quality Eight-Fifty - PART III After even more steam and pressing, I started sanding the crown to try and blend the felt so that there wouldn't be such a distinct line, as well as the brim edge. The basting stitch holes were also raised, so they needed to be shaved. I was ginger...- Alive'n'Amplified

Emerson Star Quality Eight-Fifty - PART II After removing the interior and ribbon, I gave it a thorough steaming so that I could put it on the block. The original block had straight sides and a rounded dome, while I was going to flatten out on my 52 block. Notice the cleaner felt where the...- Alive'n'Amplified

Emerson Star Quality Eight-Fifty - PART I Hey folks. Thanks for all the nice comments on the WHAYWT? thread regarding my recent conversion. I was inspired by Josh and Scott to try my hand at renovating hats. I figured that if I found some nice hats a size larger or smaller that I could...- Alive'n'Amplified

Really nice hat, JG! My local antique stores always come up empty. I like the multi-stitch on the binding. The crease is nice, too.- Alive'n'Amplified
